Bling Ring

Ben Affleck’s exit is official, despite past promises he’d stick around -- not only in his wedding vows ... but also on the epic engagement ring he gifted Jennifer Lopez.

Back in 2022, J Lo spilled on "The Zane Lowe Show" they were both so head over heels in love on their second go-around that Ben had "not.going.anywhere.” engraved on her engagement ring as a constant reminder of his commitment.

Jen said Ben even signed off his emails with the same message when they reconnected after 2 decades apart ... and the phrase meant so much to her she named one of the tracks on her recent album "This Is Me... Now" after it.

Selena Gomez seems like she's sending another sign she's engaged to Benny Blanco ... because she's now following a wedding planning agency on social media.

Amid rumors Benny popped the question, Selena started following CMG Weddings & Events on TikTok.

One of Selena's fans noticed the "Only Murders in the Building" star was following CMG earlier this week -- and now there's a whole bunch of TikTok clips speculating Selena and BB are engaged.

Dakota Johnson's giving rumors she's single the finger ... her ring finger, which she's waving for all to see that she's still wearing her engagement ring from Chris Martin.

DJ was out in Malibu with pals Jeremy Allen White and Blake Lee, and when she noticed paparazzi taking shots ... she raised her left hand to flaunt the massive emerald Chris gave her when he popped the question years ago.

The intentional flaunting of the ring confirms the story TMZ broke ... that they had not split up, as one report last week claimed.

Jennifer Lopez is not interested in talking about her rocky split from Ben Affleck but she continues to wear her flashy wedding band from him while out and about.

We got J Lo leaving lunch in Beverly Hills on Friday and asked her how she and Ben are doing amid their very public separation. Jen's response to our cameras? Absolutely nothing.

Seems Jen will not be addressing the split anytime soon, but the disappearing and reappearing act of her wedding band drags on.

Selena Gomez has fans thinking she's engaged to be married -- whether or not that's true -- but she's got no one to blame but herself for lighting the rumor mill on fire.

The singer dropped an IG pic Thursday that seems innocent enough -- a mirror selfie in a gorgeous white dress. But, hold up -- peep those pink heart emojis right where her engagement ring would be. Curious, huh?

Of course, this isn’t a solid confirmation she and Benny Blanco are tying the knot -- but fans are wondering if she put that emoji there on purpose, or if it was just a happy accident.

Ozzy Osbourne is going after Britney Spears, Jonathan Majors is going to propose to Meagan Good, and Patrick Mahomes is going to NFL training camp ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles explain why Ozzy is fed up with Britney ... especially when it comes to her social media habits.

Zach Wilson will soon step off the gridiron and into a stylish tux ... 'cause he just got engaged to his model girlfriend on an Italian vacation.

Nicolette Dellanno -- the lucky lady ready to settle down with ZW -- posted pics of the two together overlooking the water on an Italian cliffside just moments ago ... and check out the pics 'cause she's got a MASSIVE rock on her left hand.

Dellanno's clad in all white here -- looking pretty dang angelic, we gotta say ... and, she's engaging in a ton of PDA with Zach, holding hands and smooching under the moonlight.

Courtney Stodden is ditching all reminders of her ex-fiancé Chris Sheng ... and, absolutely shockingly, that includes tossing her massive engagement ring down the toilet.

Check it out ... Courtney records herself as she casually declares she's doing some spring cleaning around her Brentwood, CA home, and then grabs the diamond sparkler out of her jewelry box and holds it over the toilet.

She proves she means business by dropping the rock -- 5 carats large, BTW -- into the water, and flushing without hesitation!

Ben Affleck's wedding ring found its way back on to his hand, just one day after it vanished right in the middle of his marriage drama with Jennifer Lopez.

Ben's left hand went platinum (or silver) again Saturday ... the ring was visible as he punched in the security code at the rental home in Brentwood, where he's been living for several weeks since moving out of the Bev Hills mansion he and J Lo purchased last year.

Less than 24 hours earlier, Ben seemed to signal the end was near for their marriage ... as he did NOT have the ring on Friday evening while going to his kid's school play. With the ring's return, it seems it might have just slipped his mind on Friday.

The ring Kevin Hart gifted to Tom Brady for being such a good sport during Sunday night's roast wasn't merely a prop ... TMZ Sports has learned it's the real deal -- coming in with a staggering worth of $40,000!!!

We're told celeb jeweler Jason Arashaben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills -- who actually created TB12's final Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl ring -- was the mastermind behind the piece, tasked with completing it in time for Netflix's "The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady."

Jason threw the kitchen sink at the bling ... loading it with just under 400 diamonds, rubies and sapphires. A spokesperson for the jeweler tells us it's all set on yellow gold, weighs around 6 carats -- and would cost normies about as much as a brand-new car to own.

NY Mets owner Steve Cohen's wife is showing out for her hubby's baseball team in a big way ... Alex Cohen was gifted an insane, iced-out, 14-karat white gold chain with 30 carats of diamonds, and we're told it's worth $65,000!

TMZ Sports has learned Alexandra -- who married Cohen in 1992 -- initially met celeb jeweler Will Selby at Citi Field while he was delivering a chain to an NBA star ... and that's when he began designing the piece.

"I was dropping off a piece for Donovan Mitchell and bumped into her at the owner's suite at The Mets game," Selby told us, "and the rest has been history."

The necklace features two Mets logos and the interlocking "NY
on the chain. Selby collabed with OMI Jewelry ... who helped put together the piece.

All told, the chain/pendants total 30 carats of VS1, F colored diamonds ... and it's Amazin'.

We're told the bling is worth $65k ... but the jewelry was a gift. Regardless, it's a drop in the bucket to Cohen, the richest owner in baseball, with a reported net worth of $16.5 billion (Forbes).

Fun fact, the two met on a dating service back in 1991. Coincidentally, Alex was a Mets fan before Steve even became the minority owner in 2012. Years later he purchased a majority of the team once it became available. Alex is currently the president of the Amazin’ Mets Foundation.

Did you know the Patriots gave Josh Gordon a Super Bowl ring for his small role on the 2018 championship team??

It's true ... and now, the embattled wide receiver's victory bling can be all yours -- if you've got some SERIOUS cash lying around.

Officials at Heritage Auctions say they're putting JG's title drip on the auction block next month ... and they expect it to sell for somewhere in the area of $100,000!!!

Unclear how the ring made its way to the auction house ... but we're told Gordon himself is NOT selling it. Rather, officials tell TMZ Sports it's being sold by a dealer.

But, the ring is insane regardless ... it's the last one of Tom Brady's Patriots tenure -- featuring a gem carat weight of 9.85. The bling also features 10 karat gold, according to auction officials.

Of course, Gordon only played in 11 games for the Pats in the '18 season after they traded the Browns for him ... he ultimately stepped away from New England before its playoff run, saying he needed to focus on his mental health.

Gordon ended the season with 40 receptions for 720 yards and 3 TDs ... famously catching Brady's 500th career touchdown pass.

Gordon returned to the Pats the following year ... but was placed on injured reserve just a few games into the season and was later cut.

Karlie Redd's recent engagement is very much the real deal and it was sealed with a $150k ring ... TMZ has learned.

Karlie got engaged last week to her boyfriend, Mo, during her single release party. Sources tell us the ring Mo used to pop the question to the "Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta" star was embedded with 18 carats in just diamonds alone.

Lots of people were surprised by the engagement, including Karlie who fell off a couch during the proposal, since not much is known about her fiance. They've only been dating for a few months.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are making sure her engagement ring doesn't slip off her finger because one of their first stops after getting back to NYC was at a jeweler.

The Biebs and Baldwin looked super chill and blissed out Tuesday evening as they waited for Hailey's ring to get resized inside Pristine Jewelers. Gotta say ... Justin's acing the fiance thing so far -- he gave Baldwin a shoulder massage while they were waiting.

She seemed reluctant to even briefly remove the ring. Still no word on the size or cost of her ring -- not that it matters. Hailey and Justin haven't stopped glowing since he popped the question this past weekend in the Bahamas.

We spoke with Avi and Ofir from Prestine who tells us JB also got a white gold ring of his own and picked up a white diamond encrusted Patek Philippe watch.

Porsha Williams tried playing it coy when our camera guy straight-up wanted to know if she and her BF were shopping for engagement rings ... keyword: tried. 'Cause, all signs pointed to them hunting for a rock.

We got the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star and her boo after she met with Richie Rich from the Leon Diamond jewelry store in NYC and we had to ask ... was she looking at engagement rings? It's interesting ... Porsha's kept her relationship on the super DL for some time now and only made subtle hints she's in a relationship.

Just a few days ago, reports surfaced outing Porsha's new man as Atlanta businessman Dennis McKinley. She's also been ending her Instagram captions with #DM. And, that's the same guy we saw her holding hands with as she left the jewelry joint.

Where there's smoke ...

Joel McHale is so impressed by how much Pete Davidson spent on Ariana Grande's engagement ring ... he's lobbying for an 'SNL' gig. Jokingly. We think.

We got Joel at the Fortnite Pro-Am tournament near downtown L.A. -- he was paired with Markiplier, for you Fortnite heads. Anyway, we broke the Ariana-Pete engagement news to Joel, and you gotta see his reaction. The $93k price tag for the ring really did blow him away.

Unlike some naysayers, Joel told us the couple's young age -- they're both 24 -- isn't necessarily a bad thing. He's got a great example.
